New! Personal Development Book Club (PDBC)

This is a short, informational meeting to assess interest and schedule future meetings. To sign up, please email Dwight at pdbc.prov@gmail.com

There is nothing holding us back from the life that we want! Somany of us desire to have, do, and be all that we can on a physical, financial, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual level - and we read books - lots and lots of personal development books. But self-created road blocks take consistent awareness and observation to remove. That’s where the book club comes in.

The Personal Development Book Club (PDBC) is a place where we can all get together once a month and not only discuss what we read, but learn from and support one another's individual path of personal growth and achievement. The PDBC is not dedicated to reading only one kind of book, but all books which deem to educate, inspire and enlighten.

Which books would you like to read? Which books have you read that you think others would like to read? Send your suggestions and we will add them to the list! Together, we can all be successful!

Sign up and reserve your place at our first meeting where we’ll set goals for the group and share suggestions. Feel free to bring snacks and non-alcoholic beverages.
